“BlueRidge is the ideal partner for Gift Lift,” says Mike Desmarais, national category sales manager — printed products. “Their knowledge and tenure in the data technology space is unparalleled. Combined with Tension’s knowledge of direct mail, we can provide our customers with a powerful product in a way that is seamless, simple and effective.”

Tension’s Gift Lift program takes a customer-supplied donor list and then, with BlueRidge Data, appends important campaign information like mailing addresses, email, phone and even employer data. The data can also include information about donors who are currently employed by companies that will match their charitable contributions.

The organization can then launch an integrated campaign including emails, text and direct mail. Tension manages the data append process, and additionally can lead the production, printing and mailing of a personalized direct mail appeal that includes the matching gift forms of each respective donor’s employer along with a convenient return envelope. 

“Tension is known in the industry for its outstanding products and services,” says Stephen Hafner, CEO of BRD. “BlueRidge’s powerful data services provide hard to find data, and with Tension we can deliver this service to customers.”
